Crazy Ray's Adventures is a Seward, Alaska-based outfitter offering guided fishing charters, liveaboard trips, and sea duck hunts. The operation runs multiple vessels including F/V STRAIT CRAZY, F/V CRAZY RAY, and F/V SOUND CRAZY to serve a range of trip types from 8-hour salmon and rockfish outings to 10–12 hour halibut combo charters.
Trip offerings include Silver Salmon and Rockfish 6– and 12-pack charters, Halibut Combo fishing charters, extended liveaboard long-range fishing trips for up to six guests, and special Port Ashton Lodge overnight trips with exclusive boat reservations. Crazy Ray's Adventures also conducts a multi-day trophy sea duck hunt based out of Whittier aboard a custom 40'x15' aluminum pilothouse boat.
The liveaboard long-range option provides onboard bunks for personalized accommodations; guests bring their own meals and sleeping gear. Port Ashton Lodge overnight trips combine boat access with onshore cabins and amenities, offering glacier and wildlife viewing alongside fishing. The sea duck hunt is a 4-day, 3-night guided experience targeting species such as Harlequin ducks and Barrow's Goldeneye.
Crazy Ray's Adventures focuses on fishing and hunting experiences in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska, emphasizing access to less-fished areas, multiple target species (halibut, rockfish, lingcod, Pacific cod, and salmon), and a variety of trip lengths to suit different groups. All descriptions are factual and based on published trip offerings and vessel details.
